Can we still submit a <i>Pitch It!<\/i> application?<\/b><br \/>\nAll lead applicants must have 501(c)3 status. However, groups without 501(c)3 are welcome to apply as part of a cohort application, so long as the lead applicant does have 501(c)3 status.<\/p>\n<p><b>We are a nonprofit who works with for-profit groups. Can we submit an application with our for-profit partners?<\/b><br \/>\nYes. However, the nonprofit must be the lead applicant on the <i>Pitch It!<\/i> application. Please also keep in mind that a winning innovation is one that can benefit other nonprofits.<\/p>\n<p><b>Can we apply both individually and as part of a cohort?<\/b><br \/>\nNo. We will only accept one application per organization, even if that application is part of a cohort.<\/p>\n<p><b>What are the award amounts?<\/b><br \/>\nThe first place award for Pitch It! is $25,000. Second place is $5,000. Third place is $2,500.<\/p>\n<p><b>Is the grant a one-time award, or can it be renewed?<\/b><br \/>\nThe <i>Pitch It!<\/i> award is a one-time award and it cannot be renewed. However, we are planning <i>Pitch It!<\/i> challenges for 2014 and 2015.<\/p>\n<p><b>How is award money split between cohort applications?<\/b><br \/>\nThe award money will be issued to the lead applicant. However, all finalists will be required to submit a final report and budget. These documents should reflect how award money is to be split between cohort applicants.<\/p>\n<p><b>What criteria will be used to select <i>Pitch It!<\/i> winner?<\/b><br \/>\nWe will look for an innovation with clarity and focus, originality, benefit to those being served, and a good chance of successful implementation that can be deemed a quick win. You can find more details about the criteria for selection <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.communify.me\/gnof\/program\/pitch-it-the-innovation-challenge\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Can we submit attachments in support of our <i>Pitch It!<\/i> application?<\/b><br \/>\nNo. We will not accept any documents beyond the application itself.<\/p>\n<p><b>What kinds of deliverables will the award recipients need to provide and when will they be due? <\/b><br \/>\nThe three <i>Pitch It!<\/i> finalists will have one year to fully implement their innovation. Each organization (by applying) agrees to share their learnings with the Greater New Orleans Foundation in order to help other nonprofits innovate. We will blog the progress of each finalist as they work to implement their innovation.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Pitch It!
